Well, got the gun in last night, looks great after you get all of the cosmoline off, bluing is great, wood to metal fit is good, kicks like a mule, lever is smooth as butter, but won't cycle rounds from mag to barrel or eject spent rounds, will fire single loaded shells, using winchester AA shells as has been recommended, going to try several other brands, if that doesn't work its back to century arms in Virginia for repairs, will keep ya'll updated
